Never Forget What They Took From Us.

New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC

Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.

So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.

Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.

This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.

Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.

And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.

Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.

Hi there ! You can call me Jinx (or Allister but I rather have Jinx if we don't know each others)

I'm kinda a lurker around here but I've decided to try this site and maybe have some friends that would be cool !

I'm currently 22 yo, I'm a transgender man and ace sex repulsed and I'm in the middle of a process for a diagnosis of schizophrenia (I've been on meds for rougly a year tho) I also have a ADHD diagnosis !

My current hyperfixation is Arcane (currently watching with my partner the season 1) and I love synthv, my favourite book is 'Piranesi' from Susanna Clark and hm I guess I like music of all sort ?

I don't know much about dni list but I'll try, dni if you're :

-transmed, terf, or any lgbt-phobic

-ableist of any sort

-pedophile (or Map), zoophile, or anyone sexualising age regression thingie

-A maga person, republican or any facists guys

-You deny genocide

-If you uses slurs (even to reclaim them, i'm not comfortable with it)

-whatever, don't be weird

And to say the least I'm not familiar with all the terms and things on this site so if I ever made a mistake don't hesitate to tell me ! I genuinely don't want to be weird, my native language isn't english so if I make mistakes on this part please bear with me !

And if you want we can try to be friends or acquaintance, I'm not a talkative person but I try my best !

I liked clinical trial, I thought the two mains character were relatables (more Lee than Angel for me) and I don't agree that ending two is for stalker and yandere enjoyer, I feel like the stalker part is- obviously wrong but I feel like it can change and Angel even says that if he comes a less strong it will not be a deal breaker, I like it, it was a short game.

Just discovered there was an illustrated edition of System Collapse by Jaime Jones with its own special cover and I am in love and desperately need to know if Jaime Jones illustrated other interior illustrations for the other books

say what you will about the side of “evil” but at least we’re hospitable. what do you always see in the antechamber right outside my lair? that’s right, a healing fountain. sometimes some mana potions and a cool sword in case yours broke on the way to my tower. do you think i get that when my dark forces are storming the princess’s castle? think again. i get guards with +2 radiant broadswords rearing to play the “let’s see who can break the geneva convention fastest” competition. un-fucking-believable

hyperfixation please stay with me long enough to complete the project. hyperfixation do not fade. hyperfixation finish what you started for the love of god

hear him out

I think sometimes people think eugenics is bad but its still true, like thinking that if people with certain traits have children it will change society for better or worse based upon what traits are promoted. I think its important to emphasize that eugenics is not only wrong morally it's also fake and stupid bullshit

Like eugenics was supposed to be based on the idea that "If it works with animals to select only the best ones to breed, why wouldn't it work with humans?"

well it doesn't work with animals, that's the thing. applying the eugenics ideas to domestic breeds of animals hasn't made better animals it's just made animals with more extreme expression of certain traits. turns out that when you decide which traits are the "best" and become obsessed with the genetic purity of the animals that have the "best" traits, you might well end up with some sad suffering creature like a Pug, or the Persian cats with the smashed faces that are in constant pain because their teeth and airways and brains are getting crushed by their skulls, or those meat chickens that grow so fast they can hardly even stand up after a few weeks old, or inbred race horses with tiny feet and fragile toothpick legs

like almost all traits are neither "good" or "bad" they're way more complex than that. a long tail or a long snout or a stubborn, independent personality can be good or bad depending on the situation. Who gets to decide what is a "good" trait or a "bad" trait? It's arbitrary and selecting for traits that are "good" in your opinion will often have both "good" and "bad" outcomes because the "good" and "bad" are part of each other and not separate its just part of being alive

Obviously oversimplifying everything but you get it. we did eugenics with dogs and how did that go? not very well
